Fuels for Marine Gas Turbines Requirements and Availability in the 1970’s

Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the development of specifications for fuels which can be burned in marinized aircraft and industrial-type gas turbines for ship propulsion and auxiliary power. It then considers the types of fuels — gas to residual — which will be available on a worldwide basis during the ‘70s, logistics involved, and potential problems that can develop in handling and firing them.
